Algebra 1

Mrs. Plucker


Syllabus has been moved to the Randolph website.



Students should log in as themselves and click on "assignments" on the left (closer to the bottom) or click on the "assignment portal" tab at the top to go to my class. This is a new way of finding assignments. Please let us know what you think.




The idea is for all teachers to use this next year so you can get all your assignments in one place:)
